Spoon triumph through the rain at Lollapalooza

Patti Smith and My Morning Jacket man play for the kiddies

Sudden rain didn't dampen Spoon's spirits at Lollapalooza tonight.

Frontman Britt Daniel put his band through the paces, playing several tracks from their new album 'Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga', as well as old favourites such as 'I Turn My Camera On', which got the rain-soaked audience dancing.

"Did you see LCD Soundsystem here last night?" Daniel asked the crowd. "Amazing."

Earlier in the day before the rain arrived, punk legend Patti Smith preceded her official Lollapalooza set with a surprise appearance at the Kidzapalooza stage, where she performed for the kiddies and their hipster parents.

Also making an appearance at the Kidzapalooza stage today was My Morning Jacket main man Jim James, who performed a moving set with his acoustic guitar.

"'The Rainbow Connection' brought tears to my eyes," drummer Patrick Hallahan told NME.COM after his bandmate played the song made famous by The Muppets.

My Morning Jacket are set to perform their main Lollapalooza set tomorrow evening.
